CORN WALL.

Prof s. T. Frost occupied the pull pit of the 1st Cong. church on Sunday. We shall no doubt have variety of preaching for the next few months. At the meeting of the council of ministers last week it was thought by many of them that our pastor had no good reason for resigning, but as he said, "he should go anyway they "let him vent" He evidently wished to be or dained and chose this church for this purpose. While there was consider able " taffy" expressed in certain resolu- tions (which were copied ver 6atims from those of neighboring church on Q similar occasion) it seems to be the general opinion that the clerical gentle man was disappointment, even to his best friends. :. Col D. w. Peirce has a new house raised on his farm on West street, and when finished it will be an ornament to the street. John B. Cal houn took nine of his Devons to the Danbury fair and received seven premi- ums The modern Casibianaca may be found fully developed in Tommy, who went to the fair. Jack told him to stay until he came back, and he stayed until darkness overlook him at his post of duty and then he wandered to and fro till the sun rose in the morning, when he took the first train for home, resolv- ed that when he went to the fair again he would go on his own hook. :. . The board of education will meet in the school house in this village, Oct 18th, at 9 o'clock, a. m., to examine teachers. Candidates will be required to pass an examination in physiology. The new books on that subject have been receiv- ed, and with all due respect to the learned gentleman who got them out, we must say that they are of no practi- cal use in the common schools of our town, as the teacher is required to teach the subject orally and could do that without this little cheap apology for a school book.

ARE THESE CROCODILE TEARS?

At council convened at the chapel of the Congregational church at Corn wall, Conn.,, Monday, Oct 10, 1887, said council having been called to advise in the severance of the pastorial relation existing between Rev O. G. McIntire and the First Congregational church of Cornwall, it was reluctantly voted to dissolve said relation. The following resolutions were passed.
 Resolred: In coming to this result we wish to enter our hearty protest to the severance of the pastorial relation now so common, as tending to the dis credit of the practice of installation and to the injury of the cause of X espe- cially in this case, so lacking in facts that warrant such action.
 Resolred: We also wish to express our deep sympathy with this church and society in the loss of pastor, and commend them to the great head of the church.
 Resolred We also bear testimony to the christian character of our brother and commend him as faithful and able minister of the gospel.
 The Hartford Courant describes the situation as follows After two hours discussion the council voted to concur with the church and society in dismiss. ing the pastor, but passed resolutions deprecating the growing tendency to short pastorates (Mr McIntire having been settled but twenty-one months) and setting forth the fact there seemed to be no adequate reason for separation in the present case except that all par ties concerned seemed to be willing The spectacle presented was very mucl like loving couple applying for { divorce.
